Considering Tupac's rose growing from concrete: African American males in urban schools
Considering Tupac's rose growing from concrete: African American males in urban schools as critical scholars and intellectuals.
Presented by Robert Simmons, Executive Director of the Black Educators Initiative and Colleagues from Urban Teachers
Extant literature has suggested that Black boys face numerous challenges in our K-12 education system. Some have situated the challenge at their feet, while others have deconstructed that approach and determined—Black boys are brilliant and critical intellectuals in our classrooms. Through the removal of a deficit framework, this presentation will share quality practices that advance the academic development of Black boys while also using a case study approach from three public schools. Lastly, we will learn about efforts to recruit more Black men into teaching and its impact on the educational outcomes of Black boys.
